Interim results of ongoing research into combating iron oxide clogging in boreholes have recently been released with some startling findings. Ipswich-based Geoquip Water Solutions, together with their Australian partners Aquabiotics Industrial, have been working in partnership with the Western Australia Water Corporation to identify way of treating, maintaining and improving wells with iron oxide clogging that provide potable water. The research, involving wells across Western Australia and Victoria, is ongoing but interim findings have been so positive that they were recently presented in a paper at the WaterMed Conference 2009 in Rome.
